Yesterday, in my Religious Education class, we learned about the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. My class size is small and I was pleasingly surprised when two of my students stated "We already know that Mary is the Immaculate Conception." I asked them what does it mean and their response "she was born without sin." Well done to their mom!
My inspiration for my lesson plan started with Melissa from Homegrown Catholics, Tracy from A Slice of Smith Life and Lacy from Catholic Icing. From these lovely and talented bloggers, I wrote my lesson plan and used their coloring pages. Tracy from A Slice of Smith Life, posted about a video from The Catholic Company called Bernadette ~ The Princess of Lourdes.
Fortunately, I was able to find it at a local library and it was a hit. My students were engaged and asked plenty of questions following the movie. We then went on to color Melissa's Mary's paper statue:

I also gave them Saint Anne's picture by Lacy's from Catholic Icing. It's the only one I've seen that depicts the meaning of the Immaculate Conception. I didn't get a picture of one of my student's but here it is, drawn and colored by Lacy herself. Thank you Lacy for sharing your gifts and talents with us!
